Draw.TextFixed

[trdninstyle]

I'll start a new thread on this subject.

I am able to draw my text going forward for my purposes and I'm using "\n " + "\n " + "\n " + "\n, for one line but continuously in the script.
How do I go about dropping down with another, not line but another { }, like below. Because this one line could go very long even though it would look good on the chart.

if (WinRate_Instructions == true )
{
Draw.TextFixed(this, "","EMA1 " + "\nEMA2 " + "\nEMA3 " + "\nHi" + "\n
}

I did try a second, another { }

{
Draw.TextFixed(
}
with two "\n\n " + ""\n\n " + but it just made additional spacing

I could make that one line a mile long in the script but anyone coming along later looking at the script will be like, what!

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Apologies, I'm not clear on what you're asking. Are you trying to use two Draw.TextFixed() objects in the same area without having them overlap?

Sorry, I did make it complicated.

In the script I have one long line using the "\n + and of course this gives me another line on the chart, but in the script it's all one very long line.

I have this part accomplished: I made something up while testing it.


Here's my one line (Script) thus creating the above:


At some point I want to start another line in the script, could I nest it within the same logic block? Or start a 2nd line within the same logic block but I tried that with "\n\n two of them, but that just made the gaps between the words wider.

"in the same area without having them overlapping" Do you mean, like this:

This is what I was getting until I used a single line I read about, the "\n " "\n " instead of stacking them.
If thats what u meant, overlapping.

I just understood what you asked me, yes, thats what I'm trying to do. Thanks you, sorry I was slow.

Hello trdinstyle,

No worries, unfortunately, this would not be possible with Draw.TextFixed. You can only place the object in a certain pre-determined spot, so if you try to place two of these in the same spot they are going to overlap.

Consider instead using custom rendering to custom render text on the chart wherever you want.

SampleCustomRender in the platform also demonstrates custom rendering text on the chart.
